About Me

As our family expanded, we thought about buying a larger home. Eventually, we decided to put the wasted space in our current home to good use. That led to converting the basement into combination den and home office, and freeing up space on the main floor.
The task was easier said than done. Along the way, we learned a lot about sump pump installation and maintenance, adding insulation to spaces under ground level, and treating the walls and floors to prevent mold and mildew. While it took some doing, the result was worth it.
If you plan on turning your basement into livable space, let me share what we learned. Stick with me and I'll give you some tips that will save some money and help you avoid some of the mistakes we made along the way while constructing.
